It is a matter of degree. This does look like a dog owner who should be monitored by other dog owners.

The best way though would be simply to talk to the dog owner in question gracefully (pun intended). Graciegirl often has the wisdon about how to approach something like this. With compassion and a sense of a humor.

We do watch for abusive dog owners when at various dog parks in the Villages. The first step should be to befriend the dog owner and see why he/she is so upset that he/she takes it out on their beloved pet.
